# Archiver
|
|
|
|
A streaming interface for archive generation
|
|
|
|
Visit the [API documentation](https://www.archiverjs.com/) for a list of all methods available.
|
|
|
|
## Install
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install archiver --save
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
import fs from "fs";
|
|
import { ZipArchive } from "archiver";
|
|
|
|
// create a file to stream archive data to.
|
|
const output = fs.createWriteStream(__dirname + "/example.zip");
|
|
const archive = new ZipArchive({
|
|
zlib: { level: 9 }, // Sets the compression level.
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// listen for all archive data to be written
|
|
// 'close' event is fired only when a file descriptor is involved
|
|
output.on("close", function () {
|
|
console.log(archive.pointer() + " total bytes");
|
|
console.log(
|
|
"archiver has been finalized and the output file descriptor has closed.",
|
|
);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// This event is fired when the data source is drained no matter what was the data source.
|
|
// It is not part of this library but rather from the NodeJS Stream API.
|
|
// @see: https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_event_end
|
|
output.on("end", function () {
|
|
console.log("Data has been drained");
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// good practice to catch warnings (ie stat failures and other non-blocking errors)
|
|
archive.on("warning", function (err) {
|
|
if (err.code === "ENOENT") {
|
|
// log warning
|
|
} else {
|
|
// throw error
|
|
throw err;
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// good practice to catch this error explicitly
|
|
archive.on("error", function (err) {
|
|
throw err;
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// pipe archive data to the file
|
|
archive.pipe(output);
|
|
|
|
// append a file from stream
|
|
const file1 = __dirname + "/file1.txt";
|
|
archive.append(fs.createReadStream(file1), { name: "file1.txt" });
|
|
|
|
// append a file from string
|
|
archive.append("string cheese!", { name: "file2.txt" });
|
|
|
|
// append a file from buffer
|
|
const buffer3 = Buffer.from("buff it!");
|
|
archive.append(buffer3, { name: "file3.txt" });
|
|
|
|
// append a file
|
|
archive.file("file1.txt", { name: "file4.txt" });
|
|
|
|
// append files from a sub-directory and naming it `new-subdir` within the archive
|
|
archive.directory("subdir/", "new-subdir");
|
|
|
|
// append files from a sub-directory, putting its contents at the root of archive
|
|
archive.directory("subdir/", false);
|
|
|
|
// append files from a glob pattern
|
|
archive.glob("file*.txt", { cwd: __dirname });
|
|
|
|
// finalize the archive (ie we are done appending files but streams have to finish yet)
|
|
// 'close', 'end' or 'finish' may be fired right after calling this method so register to them beforehand
|
|
archive.finalize();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
